The driver is built into the kernel. From various suggestions I've come to 
see that the documentation in /usr/src/Makefile is slightly off and I need 
to perform an extra step. There has obviously been a big enough change 
between 4.4-REL and 4.8-STABLE that something with the ATA driver, devices, 
or both is different.
